Page 2 1. 90 years of BMW Motorrad. 90 years of innovative technology, perfection and passion for sheer riding pleasure. Nine decades of BMW Motorrad. 90 years full of passion for motorcycles, set through with pioneering technical innovations, record-breaking rides, historical racing victories and numerous world championship titels. In addition to guaranteeing riding pleasure for nine decades, BMW has also embodied attributes such as outstanding reliability, uncompromising suitability for everyday riding and lasting value throughout its history. The company is now marking this occasion with three exclusive 90 Jahre BMW Motorrad ( 90 years of BMW Motorrad ) models which showcase these exceptional qualities: the R 1200 GS Adventure, R 1200 R and R 1200 RT. Three BMW motorcycles which stand as shining examples of the BMW Motorrad success story: The R 1200 GS Adventure, an institution in the long-distance travel enduro segment for ten years, the R 1200 R as a synonym for the traditional BMW roadster and the R 1200 RT, which has been the epitome of the touring motorcycle for over three decades. To this day, BMW Motorrad engineers work to develop two-wheel vehicles just as they did 90 years ago - with a single aim: to constantly improve motorcycling - and since more recently also urban mobility - and above all make it safer. With its groundbreaking technical innovations, BMW Motorrad has set milestones in the history of motorcycle construction, including the introduction of the first ABS system almost 25 years ago, the presentation of the first telescopic fork in serial production motorcycles in 1935, introduction of the Telelever as a solution for front wheel suspension in 1993 and most recently the first semiactive suspension in a serial production motorcycle Dynamic Damping Control DDC, as fitted in the supersports bike HP4 from the end of 2012.

To this day, most BMW motorcycles still feature the maintenance-free shaft drive to the rear wheel for example. And contrary to short-lived, supposedly fashionable trends, solid and innovative technology made by BMW Motorrad - without short-term changes in concept - has enjoyed a constant growth in popularity among motorcycling enthusiasts for many years.
Page 4 2. BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 90 Jahre BMW Motorrad. The past three out of a total of nine decades of BMW Motorrad were particularly defined by the legendary BMW GS series, and BMW GS motorcycles with opposed-twin boxer engine have developed constantly ever since the very first GS of 1980. Whether in off-road racing, as a travel enduro bike or as an indestructible partner on expeditions BMW GS models have long become a permanent feature of the market for enduro motorcycles. No other long-distance travel enduro bike stands for pure adventure on two wheels like the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure. The name says it all. A fuel tank capacity of 33 litres allows lengthy non-stop journey stages even in remote corners of the earth while longer spring travel makes it fit for even the toughest tracks, and with an output of 81 kw (110) bhp and powerful torque of 120 Nm, its DOHC boxer engine provides supreme performance both on and off the road. In line with the BMW Motorrad principle Safety 360 the Adventure special model is also fitted as standard with BMW Motorrad ABS, here in the part integral version. To mark this special occasion, BMW Motorrad is now adding an exclusive special model - the R 1200 GS Adventure 90 Jahre BMW Motorrad. The travel enduro is already well equipped as standard, and is now further enhanced with an elaborately conceived colour concept. The R 1200 GS Adventure 90 Jahre BMW Motorrad special model emphasises the adventurous character and sporting genes of the big BMW travel enduro. It features an exclusive paint finish in Sapphire black metallic for the upper front fender ( beak ) and tank cover. An aluminium knee cover anodised in Olive grey and a special model inscription highlight the bike's authentic, masculine character as do the swingarm and rear frame in Asphalt grey metallic matt. To provide a perfect match for the overall look, the surface of the seat is finished in Luxor olive grey with flanks in Seta black.
Page 5 The anodized black Paralever strut and the engine finished entirely in black matt combined with cylinder head covers in Granite grey metallic matt give the R 1200 GS Adventure 90 Jahre BMW Motorrad a touch of both refinement and technological flair. By way of a fascinating technical contrast, the fixed fork tubes and brake callipers at front and rear are anodised in gold. Meanwhile an exclusive nickel-plated and polished brass plate bearing the inscription 90 Jahre BMW Motorrad replaces the BMW logo on the upper fork bridge. Above and beyond this, the R 1200 GS Adventure special model 90 Jahre BMW Motorrad can be individually supplemented with special accessories and options from the extensive BMW Motorrad range, with the exception of standard paint finishes.
